When I restarted Criterion in September 2023, I had to streamline the range due to limited space to store stock and the amount of capital I had in my initial investment. The Prime 700 was one of these bags which was mothballed and I am delighted to announce that it is now in stock and available to purchase for your winter escapades in the mountains and highlands.

 

This new  version of the Prime 700 retains the core specifications of the original model. The dimensions, 850 FP goose down fill quality and user features are the same. However, to improve weight and packability. The shell fabric has been updated to Pertex Quantum 35 (35g/m²), contributing to a total weight reduction of approximately 100g over the previous model which weighed 1210g. The new version weighs in around 1110g which represents just over an 8% reduction in weight over the old version.
